+ Show full styles
V6

[INTRO — GENTLE PIANO, INTIMATE MALE VOCAL] I cannot choose the road you take, I cannot know the dreams you wake. I cannot see inside your heart, Or know what keeps our worlds apart. But if there's one thing love has shown me, One truth I have come to see, It's that a heart can never flourish Unless it has the right to be free. [VERSE 1 — WARM, MELODIC SOUL VOCAL] There may be voices all around you, Telling you what's wrong or right. There may be shadows in the distance, There may be questions in the night. And if the world has grown confusing, If you don't know what to believe, Take your time and listen inward, Give yourself the room to breathe. [PRE-CHORUS — SOFT HARMONIES BUILD] You don't have to answer now, You don't have to tell me how. Let the truth come into view, Let the final choice belong to you. [CHORUS — FULL, BEAUTIFUL MELODIC LIFT] The choice must be yours The decision must be your own, You must find the truth you trust, In the heart of the place you call home. The choice must be yours No one else can take it's place. Love cannot demand an answer, Nor fear in disguise as grace. And if you ever find your way, Let it be because you choose. Not because you fear to stay, But because you fear to lose. The choice must be yours And I'll respect your what you choose, Remember I will always love you, And my love you will never lose! [VERSE 2 — SOULFUL, SLIGHTLY STRONGER] But truth raised a warning, A voice that crossed into the night. He spoke of hidden influence, Of a counterfiet obscured from sight. The Dark Lord stands within this story, The counterfiet we must understand. For the glitter isn't the proof of anything, And truth is more grand than his master plan. So look beyond the accusations, Beyond the anger and the pain. Ask the real questions that matter, And let your soul instinct lead you again. [PRE-CHORUS — GENTLE STRINGS, RISING VOCAL] You don't have to answer now, You don't have to tell me how. Let the truth come into plane view, Let the final choice belong to you. [CHORUS — RICH HARMONIES, SOFT ROCK DRUMS] The choice must be yours, And the decision must be your own, You must find the truth you trust, In the heart you call home sweet home. The choice must be yours. No one else can take it's place. Love cannot demand an answer, Nor seperate you from my grace, And if you ever lose your way lost and all alone, You know exactly how to find me in time, Reach out to me telepathically dialing home, And I will leave the ninety nine, Remember the choice must be your own, And I'll respect your final decision, All I wish for you is a home sweet home, With plenty of love, health and provison. [BRIDGE — STRIPPED BACK, PIANO AND VOICE] And if in the future should you return, I'll know it's your heart that brought you home. But If you depart and never turn, I'll honour what I had to learn from you on my own. I cannot make you see my view, I cannot live this life or decision for you. What I can do is open my Kingdom door, And let you dream and wonder forevermore. [FINAL CHORUS — EMOTIONAL CLIMAX, LAYERED HARMONIES] The choice comes from your gut you truly feel, As you let the spirit of your heart decide, By letting the truth of it be ever real, Not a place where fears can hide. The choice must be yours, Let your own conviction grow. There are things we cannot answer, And There are things we do not know. And if the years should bring us wisdom knowing, If the future should bring us together, May we meet the truth in our everlight glowing, And let our eternal love guide us forever. My Evenstar is yours throughout all of time, Remember the choice must be your own. Like your morning star was always mine, I will always be in my home sweet home, Forever dreaming of you my love, Even if all the stars refuse to shine [OUTRO — PIANO, TENDER VOCAL] I cannot choose for you my love... It was never in my power to contain... And because you want complete honesty I would never think I should need to explain. Your way... Your truth... Your life... With love from Your Heart to my wife, Your immortal flame!
